All By My Lonesome lyrics - Charley Pride
All by my lonesome heart broke and then some
Watchin' ol' re-runs on my TV
Drinkin' and cryin' so close to dyin'
I'm next to no one all by my lonesome
Thanks for sendin' someone by to see if I'm alright
I appreciate your concern tonight
But I don't need no company to offer up their sympathy
If it ain't you then I would rather be
All by my lonesome heart broke and then some
Watchin' ol' re-runs on my TV
Drinkin' and cryin' so close to dyin'
I'm next to no one all by my lonesome
Spent too much time behind the bars until you were gone
Now I'm doin' time for doin' you so wrong
I hope and pray that destiny will bring you right back here with me
But until then I'll hold you in my dreams
All by my lonesome heart broke and then some
Watchin' ol' re-runs on my TV
Drinkin' and cryin' so close to dyin'
I'm next to no one all by my lonesome
I'm next to no one all by my lonesome
You're Still in These Crazy Arms of Mine lyrics - Charley Pride
Crazy arms was playing on the jukebox
The first time that I ever danced with you
And from that moment on I knew forever
These arms would never reach for someone new
Every night I thank my lucky stars above
That you'll never be someone else's love
The dreams we treasured stood the test of time
And you're still in these crazy arms of mine
Now and then we take out Ray's old records
We put them on and turn the lights down low
We hold each other close and dance together
And feel this thing that we did long ago
Every night I thank my lucky stars above
That you'll never be someone else's love
The dreams we treasured stood the test of time
And you're still in these crazy arms of mine
And you're still in these crazy arms of mine
Standing In My Way lyrics - Charley Pride
I'm always there forever, I am
There between what I'm reaching for and the fingers on my hand
Blocking myself with things like words I shouldn't say
It seems I'm always standing in my way
Like the time I told you a lie
And I became the wall that stood between your heart and mine
I apologize but the truth is the truth don't ever fade
It seems I'm always standing in my way
My way is the hard way, I guess
Guys like me say no when we mean yes
I'd step aside if I could 'cause I live for your embrace
But it seems I'm always standing in my way
Why you stand beside me, I don't know
There's so many places a girl like you could go
I hope you see enough in me to make you wanna stay
'Cause it seems I'm always standing in my way
My way is the hard way, I guess
Guys like me say no when we mean yes
I'd step aside if I could 'cause I live for your embrace
But it seems I'm always standing in my way
I'd step aside if I could 'cause I live for your embrace
But it seems I'm always standing in my way
I'm always there forever, I am
There between what I'm reaching for and the fingers on my hand
America The Great lyrics - Charley Pride
Washington and Jefferson, I wonder what they'd say
If they came and seen the change in the USA today
Would they disappointed that we let our morals slide?
Are we losing family values? Did we push God aside?
Kennedy and Lincoln, they both made their lives for us
They would never do away with in God we trust
Everything's not perfect in our land today
This is still my country, and I'm proud to say
We live in America, the great
Oh glory waits for freedom, and reach that each day
Stand up with each other, and fight for what is right
And God will bless America tonight
They've taken the lost prayer from the classroom
Are we the only ones to feel supreme?
They took the ten commandments from the courthouse
If we don't agree it's up to you and me
So if you can't agree with what you hear and what you see
Don't leave it up to someone else it's up to you and me
We live in a free land so vote for his right
And even if we need that pray, he'll bless us all tonight
We live in America, the great
Oh glory waits for freedom, and reach that each day
Stand up with each other, and fight for what is right
And God will bless America tonight
And God will bless America tonight
Except For You lyrics - Charley Pride
Except for you
I've never known what love is
Or how it feels, to have a dream come true
But now I find my world no longer lonely
And the way that it would be, except for you
One by one
You mended all the pieces
Of a heart that someone broke in two
You filled my life with happiness and sunshine
That I never would have known
Except for you
You brought all the rainbow colours to a world of solid blues
And nothing prettier than rainbows, except for you
And so my love, I wanted just to tell you
This old heart won't beat again
This old heart won't beat again
This old heart won't beat again
Except for you
Except for you
Hickory Hollow Times And County News lyrics - Charley Pride
I was sitting on the sofa in my music row apartment
Opening up a letter from my best friend, Silus Blue
He included last week's issue of our tiny hometown paper
With a note that said he finally got his picture in the news
So I started on the front page with the mayor and the bar chief
Driving big old tractors in the founder's day parade
And a story about the JC's annual bake sale at the bar home
Raising money for the orphans, selling cookie and [?]
Got the farming boat, the high school sports
Fishing news and bowling scores
The weather and the ladies' gossip too
Who's left town and who's come home
Who's been born and who's passed on
Who's divorced and who's married who
In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News
It's reported Henry Johnson was seen courting the widow Jackson
Outside in the moonlight on the Moose Lodge patio
Sue Walker said she saw him holding hands in church on Sunday
Holding hands in church reminds me of my old sweetheart, Betty Joan
And right there on the next page grinning like a parson
My old buddy, Silus, in his tux and cowboy boots
And standing close beside him in her bridal gown and diamonds
Betty Joan, my high school sweetheart, the new Mrs. Blue
Got the farming boat, the high school sports
Fishing news and bowling scores
The weather and the ladies' gossip too
Who left town and who's come home
Who's been born and who's passed on
Who's divorced and who's married who
In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News
And you know it makes me happy to see 'em happy too
In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News
In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News
The Choices She Made lyrics - The Choices She Made
She didn't have to marry down so far
[?] with raising babies or driving older car
She didn't have to give so much and be so underpaid
Lord, I don't know how she's living with the choices she made
She didn't have to wear those bargain threads
[?] those dandy hands, moping floors and changing beds
She had a sweet on easy street, with her hand she could have played
But she threw out all her aces for the choices she made
She'll stand there in defiance of a logic she ignored
The springs lay peaceful smile upon her face
Using up her youth on some old cowboy
Would finally pay the bills on hope and faith
Time goes by, it doesn't change a thing
But she still thinks it's worth it all to wear that little ring
And I still lay beside her wishing I was worth the price she paid
All teary eyed and thankful for the choices she made
This Bed's Not Big Enough lyrics - Charley Pride
Been so many little ways you let me know
He's still on your mind
All along I've been aware that you still care about him
I'm not blind
But tonight when I reached out for you
You close your eyes and call me by his name
I think it's time I let you know the way I feel
Something's gotta change
This bed's not big enough for the three of us
One of us has got to leave beyond his memory
This bed's not big enough for the three of us
So make up your mind which one you want to keep
Oh, we've been living in the shadow of love
You can't leave behind
I've done everything I know to break his hope
To finally make you mine
Now I'm wondering if I'll ever have
The part of you I've never had before
You brought him to bed with you tonight
And I won't take this anymore
This bed's not big enough for the three of us
One of us has got to leave beyond his memory
This bed's not big enough for the three of us
So make up your mind which one you want to keep
So make up your mind which one you want to keep
I Miss My Home lyrics - Charley Pride
Too many nights I've been awake
We both so lonely, we don't know what to say
It's hard to hold on to a dream
When the sacrifice is hurting you and me
I hear your voice on the line
Sounds so sweet, I feel like mine
I miss my home
Everything I'm living for is not where I come from
I'll carry on and I'm back in the arms of the one love
'Cause I miss my home
Hope don't come easy, faith is hard to find
It's been so long since I had some peace of mind
The only thing that makes me Lord, my angel waiting there for me tonight
I miss my home
Everything I'm living for is not where I come from
I'll carry on and I'm back in the arms of the one love
'Cause I miss my home
I miss my home
Everything I'm living for is not where I come from
I'll carry on and I'm back in the arms of the one love
'Cause I miss my home
Oh, I miss my home
Maybe Love Will Save The Day lyrics - Charley Pride
Let's count all your reasons for leavin'
And add up all the reason's to stay
Maybe we'll find something to believe in
When a memory drifts back to the good ol' day
Let's take some time to remember
Before we just toss our love away
Let's spend one more night together
And maybe love will save the day
Tomorrow we can talk about forever
Maybe then we'll see things in a different light
Heart to heart let's sleep on it together
All we've got to lose is one more night
Let's take some time to remember
Before we just toss our love away
Let's spend one more night together
And maybe love will save the day
Let's spend one more night together
And maybe love will save the day
You Touched My Life lyrics - Charley Pride
You touched my life and made my heart awaken
You brought the joy that I've been dreaming of
You changed my world into a thing of beauty
When you touched my life with your sweet love
You touched my life and suddenly I'm living
You touched my chains and suddenly I'm free
Free from the year that went by without a feigning
When you touched my life so tenderly
You and you alone had the eyes to see the song in me
That lay unheard [?] that longed to be set free
You and you alone had the gift to give to make [?]
And set them free for your love was the melody
You touched my days and gave me back the sunshine
You touched my nights and I touched the stars above
You taught my heart that miracles can happen
When you touched my life, when you touched my life
When you touched my life with your sweet love
You Can't Sit Still lyrics - Charley Pride
Now you may not feel like dancing
Or getting up at all
You may not be in the mood
To heed my beckoned call
When that guitar starts to get you
Squirming in your seat
Might as well just give it up
And get up on your feet
'Cause you can't sit still
When that music starts to play
No, you can't sit still
Oh, don't throw the urge away
And you can't sit still
When that music starts to play
Now you can't sit still
So don't throw the urge away
Just let that rhythm take you up
And out across that floor
Grab some [?] and boogie down
'Cause you can't sit still no more
Can't you feel it, Bill?
Oh, don't you know you can't sit still?
You were caught all week long now
And you know it's Friday night
You're gonna lay down your hard earned money
And you bought yourself a ride
So put your arm around her
And show her once again
What it was about your rock 'n' roll
She was a-grooving on way back when
'Cause you can't sit still
When that music starts to play
No, you can't sit still
Oh, don't throw the urge away
You can't sit still
When that music starts to play
No, you can't sit still
So don't throw the urge away
Just let that rhythm take you up
Out across that floor
Grab some [?] and boogie down
'Cause you can't sit still no more
Can't you feel it, Bill?
Oh, you know you can't sit still
Can't you feel it, Bill?
Oh, you know you can't sit still, oh yeah
Resting Place lyrics - Charley Pride
Many times our work seems endless
As we la-bor in the fields
But I know the day is coming
When sweet rest will be revealed
Resting place four square city
Resting place heavenly shore
Resting place land of beauty
Where we'll rest forever more
Loved ones going on before us
How we mourn their passing souls
But God's words has spoken comfort
They have found this rest I know
Resting place four square city
Resting place heavenly shore
Resting place land of beauty
Where we'll rest forever more
Now there's a place prepared up yonder
Where the cool clear waters flow
And I'm longing for that country
And someday soon that's where I'll go
Resting place four square city
Resting place heavenly shore
Resting place land of beauty
Where we'll rest forever more
Resting place land of beauty
How I'm longing for that country
Where we'll rest forever more
Where we'll rest forever more
Forever more
Chain Of Love lyrics - Charley Pride
He was driving home one evening
In his beat up Pontiac
When an old lady flagged him down
Her Mercedes had a flat
He could see that she was frightened,
Standing out there in the snow
'Til he said I'm here to help you ma'am
By the way my name is Joe.
She said I'm from St. Louis
And I'm only passing through
I must have seen a hundred cars go by
This is awful nice of you
When he changed the tire
And closed her trunk
And was about to drive away
She said how much do I owe you
Here's what he had to say.
You don't owe me a thing, I've been there too
Someone once helped me out
Just the way I'm helping you
If you really want to pay me back
Here's what you do
Don't let the chain of love end with you.
Well, a few miles down the road
The lady saw a small cafe
She went in to grab a bite to eat
And then be on her way
But she couldn't help but notice
How the waitress smiled so sweet
And how she must've been eight months along,
And dead on her feet.
Though she didn't know her story
And she probably never will
When the waitress went to get her change
From a hundred dollar bill
The lady slipped right out the door
And on a napkin left a note
There were tears in the waitress's eyes
When she read what she wrote.
You don't owe me a thing
I've been there too
Someone once helped me out
Just the way I'm helping you
If you really want to pay me back
Here's what you do
Don't let the chain of love end with you.
This last verse of this song I really like
That night when she got home from work
The waitress climbed into bed
She was thinkin' about the money
And what the lady's note had said
And as her husband lay there sleeping
She whispered soft and low
Everything's gonna be alright, I love you, Joe
Two Pump Texaco lyrics - Charley Pride
He was wipin' motor oil off her dipstick
She was pullin' on the hair that got caught in her lipstick
And with the smell of her perfume he forgot the smell of gasoline
As he was toppin' off her tank she said, "How far to Abilene?"
He sees 'em come, he sees 'em go
From the island of his two pump Texaco
There's a rusted out rambler up on the rack
And a pile of bald Goodyear's out in the back
He meets families on vacation, bikers and businessmen
He calls 'em friend, but he'll probably never see 'em again
No, he won't
He sees 'em come, he sees 'em go
From the island of his two pump Texaco
He keeps 'em movin' on down the road
Come back real soon to his two pump Texaco
He's heard about those big city shop 'n' go stations
With twenty automated self service machines
He just feels sorry for them big city people
They must not know what service really means
He's got a sign that says
Last chance stop for at least two hundred miles
Maps, gas, soda pop, Lucky Strikes and moon pies
Yeah, he's a third generation filler up, full service man
He thanks the Lord for that star in the sky
And the grease on his hands, yeah, he does
He sees 'em come, he sees 'em go
From the island of his two pump Texaco
It's like a place we used to know
Come back real soon to his two pump Texaco
